Moving the Edge: Elastic Dancing

CI revolutionizes dance and the physical potentials of human relations by moving forward the cutting edge of what dancers know, sense, and do. Ecologically, the edge weaves together the meeting between dancers and their worlds of motion. It shapes the communication of touch by which we exchange our immediate physical possibility. The edge defines our identity. In this Workshop we extend the edge of our knowing and sharing by pressing on current boundaries of space and time, becoming smarter, faster, fuller. With strong technical abilities, our work researches how dancers attend to and share felt experience, mutual curiosity, and care. By training the physicality of attention, intensive dancers move away from their limiting, domesticated, and culturally entrained ideas of themselves and toward ever-expanding creative capacities. This shift takes each of us beyond our bound bodies and into our elastic bodyminds.
